A horrendous incident has come to light from Delhi’s Seelampur area where a 12-year-old boy was allegedly gang-raped by his four friends. According to the reports, the victim was also beaten with bricks and a rod was inserted in his private part by his friends.

The Delhi Commissioner for Women (DCW) tweeted about the incident on Sunday and also gave an update on the minor’s health condition. DCW said the boy is admitted to LNJP hospital and his health is critical. The boy informed his parents four days after the incident.

DCW chief Swati Maliwal said as soon as the victim’s parents heard of this incident, they immediately lodged a complaint with the Delhi Police. DCW chief took cognizance of the matter and wrote a letter to SHO Seelampur stating the complainant that the 12-year-old child was gang raped on September 18 by four men who even inserted a rod in his private parts.

Sharing the blurred pictures of the minor, the DCW chief on Twitter wrote In Delhi, let alone girls, even boys are not safe. A 12-year-old boy was brutally raped by four people and left in a half-dead condition after being beaten with sticks. Our team registered an FIR in the matter, she added.

During the investigation, it was found that the victim knew the accused. They were all between the ages of 10 and 12 and used to live in the same neighbourhood. Allegedly, one of the accused is also a cousin of the minor. One of the minors detained in connection with the case has thus far been brought before the Juvenile Justice Board, while the other two are still absconding.
